| I don't want to be evasive... so I am just going to say it. Both of my current Yorkies are Biewer's. I think of them as a the same breed with different coloring rather than a separate distinct breed. I know there are very passionate Biewer lovers that would disagree with that, including my breeder. I am open to either interpretation because my passion are these little fur babies not their pedigree. I have never bought a dog to "show" but do appreciate a great representation of the breed and I think alternative colored Yorkie/Biewer can still be just that. I was actually scared to share that information because I have done a search in this forum on Biewer vs. Yorkie and it was not pretty. I know this is a polarizing topic but I don't want to be a part of that. I just want to share my love for my dogs. I was going to just ignore the color issue but it felt wrong. I could not figure out what to call my dogs that would be politically correct on this board...so I am just putting it all out there. I tentatively posted pictures of my Lola and got nothing but kind comments. It made it easier for me to come out of the closet as a Parti/Yorkie/Biewer owner. Thank you to all that commented. Since I purchased my dogs as Biewers from a Biewer Breeder that is how I will refer to them but I really don't want to have to defend that idea and I hope that is all right. It is so nice to find a place that adores their dogs as much as I do! |

| The only controversy Ive ever heard of with the biewers is within the biewer community. One club believes they are a separate breed of their own and calls them biewer terriers but other breed clubs believe they are like a cousin to the yorkie and calls them biewer yorkishire terriers. But biewers unlike partis do have german breed clubs that recognize them. They are different in that way to the parti with me anyway

| I say that if you love them then what does it matter what breed they are? I love my Peke and Yorkie, they mean the world to me...

| I wasn't aware of any controversy here before, but I suppose I miss things. I think they're beautiful and I hope you post lots of pics. I'll go look for the pics you said you posted now.
